An italic serif with calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings, showing a smooth diagonal axis and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms are slightly condensed in feel with flowing, forward-leaning curves and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs appear bracketed and often wedge-like, helping the strokes transition cleanly into endings without sharp, mechanical joins. Counters are open and rounded, and the overall rhythm is lively yet controlled, with consistent curvature and steady spacing across the alphabet and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also works effectively in magazines, literary branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs where a traditional, elegant texture is desirable.
The tone reads classical and bookish, with a refined, editorial warmth typical of traditional italics. Its forward motion and tapered details give it an expressive, cultivated voice—confident and formal without feeling rigid or severe.
The design appears intended as a readable, classical italic with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic, using flared and tapered endings to create warmth and motion while preserving a composed, editorial presence.
The italic forms show clear differentiation between rounded and straight elements, producing a dynamic texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic as the letters, maintaining the diagonal flow and tapered finishing details for a cohesive text color.
